I've heard it's a good idea to take it easy with new speakers for the first couple weeks of use. I'm not sure of the reason, some type of burn in maybe with the voice coil is going on. though when I bought my new guitar amp, the salesman said I could play it loud right away. don't speakers in a guitar amp have voice coils in them too? why wouldn't guitar amps need time to break in just like with stereo speakers? |

There is no physical reason why you can't drive a speaker to its rated load immediately. As far as sound quality issues go, thats a highly subjective and often argued point of view.

One reason guitar speakers can be a bit more rugged is that sometimes the voice coil gap in the magnet is larger to allow for erratic and extreme motion or a heavier wind. I read this was true of the old JBL D-xxxF series, that used to be optional in Fender amps, and others. I don't know if it's still a common practice.
